We've made it for the last 3 years now, and it's only about 45 minutes away, so I'm pretty sure we'll be hittin it up.

good clips missing the dunes with a couple months of summer to go keep em coming

that looks awesome. I bet the dark of the night adds to the fear fun Thanks for sharin

I'm thinkin I'll plan a trip to D. for halloween just so my kiddos can see this...Looks like it's gonna be a big success

nice video

Stopped in baker for some grub...so close to dumont, just with the wrong toys

Bored lookin at for sale threads, I thought I'd put up a couple of pics that I promised, of the progress...or lack there of I was off to a good start, and then work got busy again, so I haven't made any progress for the last 2 months, but this is where I got. I know, I know, I have a LOOOOOOOONG way to go Still contemplating my exhaust setup...Gonna have to take it all over to the shop for some real fab work

A buddy ran a 125 a while back....5 or 6 paddle...not sure, but I remember he tried the 8...no bueno; The 125 doesn't have the power for that much traction. 6 should work fine, just keep the rpm's up there

congrats

not for sure, but the beeping smoke det. kinda sounds like it could be from low voltage...

Not sure if it qualifies for being ready for this season; I picked up a motorhome project at an auction. It was an insurance buy back. Squatters got the better of it, and it needs a lot of work. I'm not sure how long it'll take me, but I'm looking at a whole new interior, including all the appliances. I'm not sure if I will still be married by the time I complete it , but the coach will be nice! It's a diesel pusher, with a 350 hp cummins and a 6 spd. allisson automatic. Power everything. Leather seats. 37 footer. I read a sticker price new at 184k. Of course, I got it for a fraction of that Only bad thing is, I'm going to have to sell my sweet old bus...no room to park 2 motorhomes. GOing from this: To this:

EGT's were low, which is what puzzled me...maybe 1150-1300* I was on the weakest tow setting as well, pulling 6,500-ish lbs. of boat; and feather footing the money pedal to save on fuel... And heck yah, I'll post it.......just give me about a month to relearn my editing software I gotta edit/delete all the wakeboard fails

Got me an edge evolution programmer on my duramax a while back. Just got got from my first trip up some hills, in 100* + temps, with the programmer installed. My programmer is flashing water temp. warning starting @ 226*...It got up to 230* once, but I kept backing out of it to maintain no warning. My question is: where is the red line on the diesel's water temp? I know from experience that a big rig can stick it's rings @ 220*, but what can these lil' motors handle safely? I also noticed that the engine fan didn't kick on until 228-230*, so I'm wondering if I just need to reset the perameters of the programmer?

In my experience, the butterball turkeys don't need injections, but some of the off brands end up a little dry without them. I think butterball adds a percentage of brine. So usually, I just do a dry rub. You can do that, and experiment with your favorite bbq sauce 10 minutes before it's finished...we like sweet baby ray's. This thread's making me fatter just thinkin about food

glad it turned out I have an electric unit, which is alot more consistent on the temp, but keeping up with the wood chips makes a diff. for me too. That last 10 degrees always seem to take a while. Several years now, I've done the smoked turkey for turkey day. 14 lbs. or so, and man does it take a while. Usually get up at 4 am. and let it go for around 12 hours...SOOO worth it though :hungry: .

It certainly could have been worse. We had 6 adults + my son on board when we hit; I immediately flipped on the bildge thinking I'd sunk the whole thing. Nothing pumped out though, so I knew we weren't too bad. In fact, got it on the trailer, and not even a scratch on the hull...just the props got jacked...a few tiny nicks on the skag, shafts look fine; but nothing cracked, nothing dripping oil...very thankful

We try to fill our summers with trips to the water :boat: . Usually hit Mead, Shaver Lake, Lake success, etc. We decided to meet up with some friends last weekend @ the river. We stayed just out of Laughlin. Saturday, we headed down to Pirates Cove; we were navigating the shallow spots pretty well, until we were awestruck by the nicer homes in one stretch...next thing I knew, my depth finder said 2 ft, I looked down, and rocks. I slammed it in nuetral, but it was too late. We hit em pretty hard, and jacked up the props....yah, duoprop, so $1600 later, I should be back to normal. My fault...let my guard down for 20 seconds I snapped of a couple of pics of 1 of the props, on my phone, to share. They're both this bad We had to get up river...the boat vibrated like a jackhammer, so that was it for the weekend.

we like using the hickory wood chips; we find the mesquite chips to be a bit too much. Also, we like the flavor that we get when we substitute water with soda. Gives it a sweet sticky glazed effect. We buy the store brand 2 liters for that...orange is what works for us on our baby backs :hungry: The fun thing is to just experiment...see what worksfor ya

forgive me if I'm wrong, but I remember watching an episode of monster garage with a feller by the same name...wouldn't happen to be you, would it? I've been wondering for a year now, and I just had to finally ask

sounds like a great place to go, family and all The rzr looks great

I bought a shotgun off of my buddy that way. He had to turn it in, and the usual waiting period/ background check. It really wasn't too big of a deal. It was worth jumping through their hoops :skeet:

That's the car, in blue, that got my momma to take a look at my daddy

congrats

Good idea for a thread My dad used to race Angleas back in the day, when straight axles were cool...I mean the first time they were cool I've seen a lot of muscle; but ever since high school, I've been jonesin for a '40 or'41 Willy's outlaw body, blown...of course, pro street/tubbed or as a cruiser/tuckin big diameter rims(eitherway), but definately with a low stance ( no straight axle up front for mine) . Maybe something like this pic I found:

That's awesome. It looks WAAAAY better
